Chapter 5 - Gunslingers(1)

The town had three parks on each corner of the town map, almost forming a triangle. People of all age groups and all ethics comes to enjoy a leisurely hour in the park.

Today afternoon.

After contacting and inviting all his friends, Jonas was laughing ears to ears. Imagining himself crushing his friends with his super pistol, he had seen himself as a super professional player targeting and hunting the newbies one by one.

He almost drooled just imagining his friends begging to spare their lives.

"Yes, what was it you guys were saying," said Jonas with a pondering expression.

"Ah I remember, someone was saying that he would win the game from me." Said Jonas while pointing his gun with a devilish grin.

"Was it you Tim?" Asked Jonas while keeping his aim on the fatty's head.

Fatty Tim almost shuddered just thinking about the gun blasting his head.

He replied hastily trying to point the culprit out "No lord it w-wa-wasn't me, I am innoceeeent , It was him all along, yes it was Rich."

Rich cursed fatty Tim under his breath while showing his flattery toward his best friend "Jonas aren't we best friends. Well, let's forget it." Said Rich eagerly trying his best to hide his nervousness and shaking of his legs.

Jonas showed a pondering expression as if the thing about the judgement that would befall his best friend and said "You are right" Rich breathed a sigh of relief but something happened that made his face drained of all colours. "But I have sow an example among you all so... that it will not happen again."

"No lord spare me, spare me lord" Rich begged for mercy but Jonas just laughed happily.

"Lord just one chance, lord spare me, wake up young master"

"What" Jonas cried in astonishment as the scene around him dissolved.

He opened his eyes groggily, Silvos was standing there barely keeping his laughing expression.

"Wake up young master, you have to go to the park," said Silvos carefully

"I know," said Jonas as his eyes twitched for his stupidity.

Jonas woke up and got his face cleaned. And got ready to wear his combat uniform.

His combat set is made of three pieces of equipment that includes glasses, earbuds to keep them connected with their team while they play and the ray gun which has a standard pistol design. Players have to set their guns to set their features like firing range and firing rate.

"Young master eats some snacks you will be hungry while you play all evening." Said Martha the maid chef while handing over evening snacks to Jonas.

"Thanks, wol yow come toh." Said Jonas while chewing his snacks.

"Woah, slow it down and say after you have finished the one in your mouth" replied Silvos.

After some chewing and drinking some juice Jonas said in an irritated tone "I said will you guys come too."

"Um I will come with you," said Silvos

"I will stay here." Said Martha while picking the tray for cleaning.

After a few minutes of the walk, they arrived in the park.

"Hey, guys." Said Jonas while running hastily towards his friends.

"Well you are late," said Jane.

"Oye let's divide the group already." Said Tim.

"Well we have Frieda, Rich, Jane, Tim, Robin, Annie, Jonas, Marsh, Sol and me,", said Leon the most vigorous of the group.

All of them opened the gunslinger's server and connected the local match server. The Teams were divided as

Alpha - Rich, Jonas, Annie, Robin and Sol.

Charlie - Frieda Jane Tim, Marsh and Leon.

Both teams selected their leaders respectively Alpha team choose Jonas who insisted that he won his game in the dream and Charlie choose Frieda who was adamant about becoming captain after seeing Jonas.

"Yeah let's watch these children," said another one watching them with interest.

"Wel the other team is in passive"

"I think the one with a quick start will win"

"Cut it"

"I think so too"

POV Whole park

The park has a unique design. The fountain is the centre of the park standing in between the squares dividing the park into four cross-sections. Each section had its unique platform, domes and exercising sets which acts as the cover as well stops the opposite side from approaching.

The Alpha team had been playing an aggressive game from the start almost approaching the fountain while taking a single shot.

Rich dashed toward the front cross-section leaving the covers, burst fire sounded from the charlie team as Rich kept moving spinning and taking shots. Robin as the sniper provides the vital shots to Charlie keeping Rich from dying. Taking the opportunity Leon shot toward Robin from the side while Frieda was the one who kept others at bay.

Sol took this opportunity to get into Jane's hiding spot taking her into surprise. Jane took three shots when Tim counterattack came adding one more shot to Sol.
